Mobile OSs are wire-hostile
On my Android web browser, I can download a .love file and open it.
After downloading the file, I can open it in my file browser.
I can copy the file into Android using the USB port -- but I CANNOT open it there. Identical bits in storage.
And mobile browsers don't understand file:// So I need the internet to transfer data between two devices right next to me -- even WHEN I have the right wire.
Local-first?! I'd settle for local-somehow-anyhow.
